#1 Post by Darkgame »

if i load an sfs to puppy, will the sfs be copied to ram?
Eg, if i load virtual box into puppy, will virtualbox.sfs be copied into ram?

In standard puppy an extra sfs isn't loaded in ram, but is made part of the file system.
But in derivatives like LightHouse, you can indicate that a sfs be loaded in ram, if there is ram available.
Very nice for the machines which have f.e. 3GB of ram.

If you are hapyy with the answers and for the sake of fellow posters can you edit the subject of your initial post and add [SOLVED] at the end.
